THE CITY FINANCES.
CONSIDERABLE INCREASE OF Tx
FLOATING DEBT OF RICHMOND.
Interesting Points Developed at the Last
Meeting Of the Finance
Committee.

The Council Committee on Finance
held quite an interesting meeting
Thursday night, and many subjects OF
importance were brought up.
For one thing the committee decided
to recommend the Council to increase
the salaries Of the following officers OF
the city DIR. Stratton, president Of
the Board Of Health. from 500 20
$1,000 per annum Chief Fuqua OF
the Fire Department, from 500 to
$1,000; Carlton Mccarthy, assessment
clerk, from 81 200 10 $3.50 r, ).
Warren, clerk in Auditors Office, from
81, $50 to 81 ,525. II. b. Boudar, CLERK
in Trcasurcr's Office, from sl,31p TO
1900. =,
The committee refused to recommend
the increase of the salary Of City-AttOr-
ney Meredith from 81, 500 10 g., 500,
and Mr.. Bates, frst-assistant engineer
TO Colonel Cutshaw, from Sl,G3O to
81, 800. as asked.
THR SCHOOLS.
Messrs. William Lovenstein and j.
Taylor EllysOn appeared before the com
mittee on behalf of the School Board,
and asked an appropriation of $4,000
more than last year 10 the school fund,
and S2S, 600 on account of new school
buildings and furniture. The commit
tee agreed 10 recommend an increase
of $1,000 in the current expense fund,
which will make the amount 5000
this year, instead of 900, 900 in 1886.
PAY or TEACHERS.
The delegation also asked an in
crease Of 10 per cent. in the pay of all
teachers.
II is claimed that the public school
teachers in Richmond receive less re-
Enumeration than like persons in any
city Of like size in the country.
No action was taken on this request.
II was laid over for the present.
EAsT-END SCHOOLS
The members of the School Board
also asked the erection of a new school
binding in the East End and an addition
10 the Springfield school-bouse, as they
deem it economy 10 increase the size of
the building rather than pay rent for
the rooms now used outside of the
school.
The committee left this subject to
the Council to deal with. II an appro-
priation is made it will have to be in
bonds, for the policy of the committee
is 20 put all permanent investments in
bonds and current expenses i'll money |
appropriations
TIE uU's FLOATING DEBT, &C.
The floating debt of the city during |
the past year was increased $50,
The total amount Of estimated re-
ccipts for the present year is 81, OIL, |
f5j-an increase over the receipts of
1886 of go. 600; and the amount of
appropriations asked for by the differ
cnt departments is 81 AS, 900
Taxes remain the same-Sl. 10 on the
900 worth Of property.
